"It's really different than anything I'd seen in any kind of traditional defense," DeVito told Soren Petro on The Program. "It's a hybrid 3-4 / 4-3. A lot of different fronts up front, a lot of different movements and things going on and shifts and things like that based on what the offense is doing. A lot of simulated pressure."

IF they have the personnel to do it. And it is not new, Crennel ran his version during 2011 and it sucked because the Chiefs did not have BFF's that can run. Tyson J, Poe & Powe can run. maybe they go with them and Devito/Bailey as the fourth DL.

100 percent will be the best pass rusher they think is BPA. so either a OLB, DE, DL penetrator. Some dude that can add pressure. Because currently we have TWO fucking guys on the whole roster that can pressure.

Folks in Provo say Kansas City’s new coach, Andy Reid, would love to take Ansah with the No. 1 pick but will go with Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel.

Lets hope we can get this guy if we trade down (I'd still want us to get Geno)

After he was hired that offseason, all the discussion was about how we'd be running a hybrid in the fall.

Yes, but was that more due to the fact that it would be by design, or because we were switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 and they wanted to do the usual "well, such and such will still have a place in our defense because we are going to use multiple looks" type deal?

History has shown that Clancy Pendergast was just a placeholder until Pioli got Romeo to commit, so I'm not sure how many parallels we can draw from his failed stint...

yea but when the season started they never did anything close to that

they ran an awful 34 without the personnel to do it

I'd love to see Osi or Freeney brought in for rush help, but we've probably seen the end of the bigger name signings at this point.

But they better figure something out, Hali and Houston simply arent enough, we need someone who can spot both or fill in for an injury.

Count me among those who really hope Reid will see something in Powe, in what few chances he's had he's demonstrated remarkable burst and quicks for a man his size.

Watching him collapse not one but three linemen to make a solo tackle was about all i needed to make me want to see more.

If I was planning on using a 34/43 hybrid, I'd move Dontari Poe to Rde with Jerrel Powe on the nose, and Tyson Jackson at LDE.

I would also switch sides with Hali and Houston, target a versatile LB in the third.

I would then be able to mix up my defense with the base personnel.

34 would have Jackson, Powe and Poe, left to right on the line, Hali, 3rd rounder, DJ, and Houston, left to right at LB.

Drop Hali on the line at RDE, move Jackson inside to DT in a 43 front.

Working like that wouldn't allow the offense to make playcalls based on personnel packages.

Interesting you should say this. Dumervil flourished 'big time' when McDaniels switched to the 3/4. When Fox got here and switched back to the 4/3 is when Dumervil's production went down significantly and why the Broncos won't pay him what he wants regardless of the bullshit story you are getting from both sides in the supposed 'faxgate':rolleyes: Dumervil is much better in the 3/4 and I would take him in a heartbeat if he would sign.:thumb:

We are trading down and taking a pass rusher. It will kill me to see it, but someone else is going to move up for Geno. And while Hali still has a lot of gas in the tank, I think that the state of the league clearly says you stock up on as many top level pass rushers as you can possibly get.

As someone who is a fan of another team switching to a hybrid, Dion Jordan is easily the best player for this defense in this draft. Other than a high quality press corner that doesn't exist in this draft.

That said. If the Jaguars don't take him, the Eagles definitely will.

While I still hold out hope that we draft Geno, if we don't the only other player I really want in the first round is Ansah. You plug him into the system that you are describing and you have even more versatility.

As well as ASmith protects the ball and chews up the clock, with our new defensive personel+Ansah in your scheme and we could be looking at the top rated defense in the league in a year or two.

The knock on Ansah is his motor, after 2 or 3 plays he has to go to the sideline to catch his breath.
